A quadricopter in Cambridge has made a flight of a few minutes holding with himself, and by landing a system Fire TV. It would not be a news if the aircraft in question was not the Amazon and the delivery was not identical to all the others on the site of the giant of the eCommerce. In short, today is officially born the was First Air, the scenery is always the most chatted of this sector, the union between drones and electronic shopping, which according to some has always been pure science fiction. Instead, Amazon continues to invest.
The first delivery to a customer of PrimeAir is in the books of history, says Bezos, the founder of the colossus of Seattle. Thirteen-minute, click-to-deliver and it’s done. Widely in the margins provided by the system, that the ambition of deliveries by drone within 30 minutes. Small velicoli without a crew, a stand-alone system, ideal for parcels of small size and not particularly fragile. And yet. First Air is based on this concept, technologically-developed (as shown in today’s video, filmed last December 7), but needs to be a regulatory adaptation. Deliveries such as these, in fact, would not be possible in many countries to even wanting to, including Italy.
drones are an extraordinarily interesting phenomenon of consumer technology, is intended to fill our skies, and to characterize many of the services which we have (eCommerce, information, private security) and also our free time. In short, the computer literacy of today also depends on the to know how to handle. Definitely also make use of it, have been shown to an application that is extraordinary in agriculture, engineering and architecture, geology, advertising, emergency situations, sport. It is assumed that in the future will always be the most requested professional figures able to use them and manage them. Scenario that may not be of interest to the new generations. The side of the consumer, who if not Amazon could fiutarlo immediately?
The patented part by the distribution centers, where we record the order has occurred on the site through option PrimeAir-delivery in 30 minutes, at that point, the object is boxed in a plastic box specifically designed for the drone, that the tapes quickly lead to a carriage that allows the drone itself to hook the box up and leave. Remote is launched and followed up to delivery and return.
From the first experiments in the United States, Israel, Britain, and Austria, the drones used are different and have evolved. What you notice in the video posted by Bezos, delivery "1", is characterized by a certain degree of fitness to the rural and flat – typical of the English countryside – and has a basket very small and low, almost undersized. The expert eyes will notice that it is a drone suitable for locations 3-6 km for the round trip. For areas more complicated, as for example those that you would find in Italy, we would certainly have a drone with the physical characteristics different. But, to paraphrase Caesar, "the drone is taken". Amazon wasn’t bluffing.
